My brothers are little girls

Instead of walking upstairs, grabbing a frying pan and whacking at my brothers faces, I’ve decided that I will write a blog instead.

My brother Ali is 17, Hassan is 14. Minus 10 from these numbers to get their mental age. To have such sacred names given to a pair of idiots is such a shame. It’s like naming a jar of pickles after Martin Luther King.

My brothers are your typical lazy American men. Instead of succeeding at school, they would much rather…

I honestly cannot give you a bright key moment from my 09 winter break. I learned how to do laundry better, I memorized all the channels on my TV and I’ve come to the conclusion that Family Guy IS as creepy as the commercials make it out to be. It’s been the laziest break of my life, but it has made room for site renovation so I guess it was good for something. Well it’s winter out, really, what do you want me to do go outside and make a half snow/half mud/half trash snowman? It rained on Christmas and let’s just hope the rain keeps coming through to wash away allll the snow through April. Just prayin here folks.

I’ve been wanting to shop online and buy out Forever 21 but I don’t exactly know how to do that yet and I’m not sure Forever 21 is affordable to the average [dying] college student. You think they accept quarters?

I’m trying to contain myself because….

Revised tutorial!

Hello everyone! Sumaiya here, that one chick who does coding and backend and moral support stuff here at swimchick.net. Anyway, Jess and I are going through content and cleaning it up and generally trying to make things more accessible and search engine friendly. To that end, a new tutorial has been posted on Photoshop Brush Basics which is, to quote the excerpt:

A quick summary about how to make and install Photoshop brushes, as well as create brush sets and offer your brushes for download.

It’s a combination of the older tutorials we had on creating brushes and brush sets and offering them for download. I know this isn’t a new technique or graphic tutorial, but a) Jess told me I should post about it and b) I think you guys should get an example of the kind of work we’re trying to do right now. It’s partly the reason why there haven’t been as many new content updates. You can help us out by letting us know if there is duplicate/misplaced content or any tutorials that you think could be revisited and freshened up, or any other content in general. We’re working on getting previews and excerpts done for all the tutorials, so that can go without mention. :)

Thanks for sticking with swimchick.net through this; we really do appreciate it and are doing our best to give you high quality stuff—we just want to finish taking care of old stuff before moving on to the new.
